KashrusBase

About

Built from inside kashrus operations

KashrusBase grew out of the daily work of running a kashrus agency — and was built to solve the administrative and supervisory problems that work creates.

Our story

Software shaped by the work itself

KashrusBase began inside working kashrus operations. Scheduling mashgichim, following up on reports, issuing and renewing certificates, invoicing establishments and paying staff — each part of the work needed tools that understood it, and general-purpose software was never designed for it.

So it was built for that work: around establishments and facilities, around mashgichim and shochtim in the field, around certificates the public relies on — and around the rabbonim whose standards the whole operation exists to uphold.

Today KashrusBase is built to serve many agencies: one maintained foundation that each agency configures around its own procedures, with its records kept entirely separate from every other agency's.

Two kinds of expertise

Technology and kashrus, in equal measure

Modern software engineering

A multi-agency cloud platform, built with current technology and careful engineering.

  • Separation between agencies enforced in the database
  • Works in the browser and on the phone — nothing to install
  • An activity log across the platform
  • Continuous improvement, for every agency

An understanding of kashrus

Built around how agencies actually operate — the language, the roles and the responsibilities.

  • Establishments, facilities and categories as kashrus sees them
  • Mashgichim, shochtim, team leaders and supervisors
  • Certificates, verification and renewals
  • Respect for the authority of each agency's rabbonim

How we work

What we hold ourselves to

  1. 01

    Your authority comes first

    Your rabbonim set the standards. The platform supports their decisions; it never makes them.

  2. 02

    Configured, not rebuilt

    One maintained platform, configured for each agency — so every agency benefits from every improvement.

  3. 03

    Careful claims

    We describe what the platform does today, and say plainly what is still being built.

  4. 04

    A long-term partner

    Implementation is the start. We stay involved as your agency, and its needs, change.

What KashrusBase is not

Clarity matters in kashrus, so we're explicit:

  • KashrusBase is not a kashrus agency, and certifies nothing
  • It issues no hechsher — your agency does, under its own name and symbol
  • It makes no halachic decisions and sets no standards
  • It never shares one agency's records with another
